There aren’t many positive words to say about eating disorders. If you’ve made it this far, you probably already know the truth: An eating disorder isn’t a thing to be trifled with, or brushed aside; an eating disorder can ruin your life, if you don’t take active steps to set yourself on the road to healing.

In healthy people, the thyroid makes just the rightamountsof two hormones, T3 and T4.  These hormones have important actions throughout the body. Most importantly, they regulate many aspects of our metabolism, affecting how many calories we burn, how warm we feel, how much we weigh…and our general well-being.

In short, the thyroid “runs” our metabolism—it’s

literally the “gas pedal” of the body.

Thyroid hormones also have direct effects on most organs, including the heart which beats faster and harder under the influence of increased thyroid hormones (this is why heart problems can often accompany chronic thyroid problems in women, and perhaps why heart problems are more common in women under the age of 50).  Read the rest of this entry »

Arthritis is a disease that causes pain and loss of movement of the joints. Joint pain is referred to as arthralgia. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people over the age of 55. The causes of arthritis depend on the form of arthritis. Causes include injury (leading to osteoarthritis), abnormal metabolism (such as gout and pseudogout), inheritance, infections, and for unclear reasons (such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus). There are many forms of arthritis .There are about 200 different kinds of arthritis.

I’m Deborah Susan, a dietician and personal trainer specializing in nutrition, physical fitness and diabetes diet plan for diabetics. Over the years I’ve noticed a trend in the questions that diabetics and their family members have been asking. Also, many of my clients had often suggested I not let my knowledge and experience go waste; instead, I should write a book that would help society cope and live a healthy life despite diabetes. A friend recently suggested I start with an article and if I like the response I could write a book.

Although many have said I have a way with words, I must state that I am not a writer or author and have until today, never written so much as an article let alone a book. I’ve decided to take the plunge primarily because I have seen intense and unnecessary suffering caused by wrong information, phobia, misguidance and myths. Lack of proper guidance and knowledge ultimately proves expensive in more ways than can be imagined.

In writing these article, it is my ardent desire to provide useful, practical knowledge (including a few low fat low carb recipes for diabetic) to help people living with diabetes to make decisions that enable them to live successfully with diabetes. Read the rest of this entry »

Endocrine cancer occurs in the endocrine system. Endocrine system produces hormone secretion glands such as pancreatic, adrenal, thyroid, pituitary and pancreatic glands. So, due to endocrine cancer, these glands will be affected by cancer cells. This endocrine cancer causes other cancers like pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer and prostate cancer. This endocrine cancer is treated as malignant cancer because it spreads to other organs and tissues.

These cancer cells grow unusually in the endocrine tissue and develop into malignant tumor. The Tumor which is formed by the cancer cells will interrupt the endocrine functions like producing excess hormones.

Endocrine tumors start from many tissues of endocrine system. Metastatic endocrine cancer can be caused by the spread of cancerous cells from other parts of the body to endocrine cells. Till now, there is no exact reason for the cause of primary endocrine cancer and metastatic endocrine cancer. But many risk factors were identified by the researchers which are more likely to increase the chance of occurring endocrine cancer. Read the rest of this entry »
